Pics from the Gilroy Garlic Festival with Loren, Mara, and Suzie. The Garlic Festival takes place every July and the mercury soared above 100 degrees (as it almost always does in Gilroy at this time of year). Despite the heat, we had a great time especially because of all the great food!
Despite living in CA all of my life and in the SF Bay Area for the last 11 years, this would be my first time at the world-famous Gilroy Garlic Festival. Same for Mara and Suzie too, shown here.
The main attraction seemed to be chefs cooking shrimp scampi (outdoors in 100F heat, no less), and their flames which would shoot up 5 feet to the metal-covered roofs.
